Hi guys!

I heard that for H1 extension beyond 3 years, one has to go to NEPAL.

How true is it ??

Any idea please share.

Thanks.

I don't think so. 2nd 3 year renewal can be done here w/o going to Nepal. If you do go to Nepal or anywhere out of the US(except Canada/Mexico returning within 30 days), you'd need to have your PP stamped with the H1B visa though.

I have done it several times from USA this H1-B Extension beyond 3 years using following criteria: you don't need to go back home unless you want to stamp visa on your passport(Visa revalidation which also can be done i n mexico or canada if you have approved h1 copy)

1) Labor certification must be filed 365 days before the current H-1 Expiration date and is either pending or approved.  I
  You will get 1 yr extension
Or
2) I-140 must be approved and current visa bulletin must be unavailable to file I-485(doesnot matter when you file your labor certification in this case)
  You will get 3 yr extension
hope this helps!

1) Job
2) Is being paid prevailing wage per state labor dept requirement for your job title
3) need latest pay stub.

kancho mentioned above that


"If you do go to Nepal or anywhere out of the US(except Canada/Mexico returning within 30 days), you'd need to have your PP stamped with the H1B visa though"


I am currently in US in H1B visa(visa expired). I am going to canada to get my PR (permanent residency). I am planning to come back within 2 weeks. I also saw this in http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=4724019812&m=7261020931.


The notice from USCIS pasted in the murthyform says that the nonimmigrant alien much be in possession of a Form I-94. I believe we have to submit our I-94 while going out of the country. So how will we be in the possession of the I-94 when coming back.

Hi,

What happens in the case if Labor PERM is denied but my first 3 years of H1B is expiring in August, 2009?

Thanks
